Geneva: The State of Qatar reiterated the importance of empowering families and enhancing their role to support the full enjoyment of their rights by all members, especially women and girls with disabilities. This came in a speech delivered by Advisor to the Permanent Delegation of the State of Qatar to the United Nations Office in Geneva, Johara Al Suwaidi, during the discussion on violence against women and girls with disabilities, an annual full-day discussion on the human rights of women at the Human Rights Council.
Al Suwaidi stressed that stopping violence against women and girls requires identifying the causes and roots of violence and working to address them.
